Illinois Teacher Loses Job After Ordering Elementary School Students To Take Off Their Underpants For Inspection

In Collinsville, Illinois, a special education teacher has been sent packing by the school board after he allegedly ordered children at Webster Elementary School to remove their underpants to see who had soiled their pants.

The teacher had the children bring him their underwear for inspection.
